Shucks. There is no good alternative for shard,
though it shouldn’t be difficult (or hard)
for a self-respecting bard
to choose a more suitable, less-clichéd word.
Editors hate it like vegans hate lard.
Their responsibility is to guard
their illustrious journals. Ditto sherd.
Nil desperandum, poet, leave the herd
and summon a synonym. Respect and regard
are paramount, lest your subbing greeting card
be the unimaginative nerd.
But this broken glass! I chew my chard
and appeal to my muse, while a bird
hops in a mess of sharp shards fragments in the yard.
